MiG-17F

Made
famous by the Vietnam War,
the MiG-17F was the primary enemy aircraft engaged in the skies over
Vietnam by U.S. aircraft, such as the A-4,A-7, F-8, B-52, F-100, F-105
and its primary nemesis, the F-4 Phantom II. During that war and up
until the F-16 entered service, it was the tightest-turning fighter in
the world.When production started in the 1950s, its VK-1F engine made
it one of the first production jet fighters in the world with an
afterburner.
